Post by Mike Jones »

Condolences go out to the family and friends of longtime air personality and member of the COUNTRY MUSIC DJ HALL OF FAME, CHARLIE DOUGLAS, who passed away on THANKSGIVING DAY (11/24).
DOUGLAS was inducted into the HALL in 1994, and began his career in 1953 at KLIC-A/MONROE, LA. He became the first PD at KOCY-A/OKLAHOMA CITY in 1956 and later worked in ASHEVILLE, NC, NEW ORLEANS and NASHVILLE, where he spent many years at GAYLORD Country WSM-A. He retired from radio in 1995 to devote time to running CDX (COMPACT DISC EXPRESS), with his partner PAUL LOVELACE.
A memorial service is planned for DECEMBER 3rd, but details have not been announced yet.
